I know everyone says don't do it but I like a good challenge but is my starting character and class a bad idea? I envision a kind of heavy armor wearing knight caster

Somewhere in his many videos about Divinity lore, Mortismal (the YouTuber) points out with some emphasis that Lucian was not the first Divine; that there had been an earlier one, albeit a long time before Lucian became the Divine.

Is there any lore or other information about who this previous Divine was? And was *he* the first? Or was there yet another one before him, and so on?

And most importantly: what *happened* to the previous Divine? and to his predecessors, if there were any?

This is my first time playing the game and I'm almost done with Act 1. I know you have to lock in companions at the end of it, so I've been rolling with my intended final party composition which is a custom main, Sebille, Lohse, and Fane. I got the Hall of Echoes scene after finishing the Braccus Rex Armory (source collars were not yet removed at this time, not sure if that matters). Everyone got Bless afterwards EXCEPT Sebille (it's not in her Skill tab at all), which has been kind of annoying since besides the random source pools, I only found the one fountain and this game wants me to use Bless in basically every quest, so having only three people who can use it only once each has been pretty inconvenient (like with the pigs). Is this a bug? If so, any idea how to fix it? I tried searching but couldn't find anyone else mentioning it. I'm playing the vanilla Definitive Edition on PS5.

I just escaped Fort Joy and got into battle around level 5 or something and something called “Disembodied Voice (? might have forgotten) just blessed my battle with some void walker thing in the marsh area and I completed a “Bless the Burning Pigs” thing and some NPC called Scapor randomly died in the fight and now I think I missed on something? 😭 Please let me know if I did!!!

Hello all,

I tried to google this but did not find anything.

My party is Lohse, Ifan, Fane and my OC. We are having the discussion in front of the Lunar Temple / Academy for who is to ascend. My preferred option would be to ascend Lohse and stay together as a 4-person-team to support her. But the dialogue options won't let me?
If I talk to Lohse, I can tell her to ascend and promise her my support. Then immediately my party shrinks to just her and me. When I talk to Ifan or Fane next, the dialogue gives me the only options of letting them ascend (which I promised to Lohse half a minute ago) or persuading them to support me as the Ascendent (which I don't want, because reasons.) I don't have the option to persuade them to support Lohse. Or do I?

So, if I let Lohse ascend, we are a 2-person-team from now on and I have to say goodbye to Fane and Ifan? (They have all my stuff! I am just a flimsy Elf who can't carry more than their bedroll and someone's leg for a snack!)

I know I could just go with the flow and find out, but I don't want to lose the other companions.

I did load a safe and tried different options, and I can persuade all of them to follow me as Ascendant. But, see above, this is not what I want.

Is this my choice between a 2-person-team and taking the job as Ascendant?

Thank you for your input!

I've got 60 hours with this game, there's only a couple of spots left before going down the church (which I assume to be the critical path) but I just don't feel like going back to it.

I've attempted epic encounters and the 6 party mods, and though they help I feel like the game is missing something. My only concrete criticisms is that the main quest feels aimlesss and there's only 3 characters that I'm not indifferent about.

Should I muddle through and hope it gets better or give up and check DOS2?

Edit: To clear something, it's 60 hours across multiple attempts at playing through it, months apart from each other.

I'll probably try again next month or so.

My friend and I play with mods that require Script Extender. Everything was fine until the end of Act 2, but then this happened. Whenever I use an ability (whether modded or vanilla, or who uses it), the game crashes with this error. At first, it crashed for both my friend and me, but now, after switching to Arx, it only happens to me or him. I can't find a crash dump and don't understand what's causing the crashes. Does anyone know what might be the reason?
